Step inside Kansas City's beautiful baseball palace, during
an emotional, historic opening day! This spectacular panoramic poster,
from the lens of legendary stadium photographer Rob Arra, features classic
Kauffman Stadium in all its glory, looking resplendent under the early
Spring sun on April 2, 2007. Unfolding in front of a jam-packed, Royals-blue-clad
crowd, is the last of many standing-ovation-inducing moments in the season-opening
ceremonies, as children of active-duty servicemen from nearby Fort Riley
are paired up with players in the starting lineup for an emotional set
of introductions. Also on the field, lining the basepaths in the infield,
are a gathering of great Kansas City baseball stars of the past, including
Fred Patek, George Brett, Frank White, Jeff Montgomery, Kevin Seitzer,
and many others. As you pan across the image, you feel like you are there
at the park, taking it all in on that historic afternoon. It's all there...the
intimate seating locations...the perfectly-groomed grass...the unique light
standards...the "grassy knolls"...the giant logo-shaped scoreboard...and,
of course, the signature fountains! As a bonus making this a valuable collector's
item, the slick white border contains authentic facsimilie autographs from
26 players! Complete with the official MLB logo, and the new Royals motto,
"True Blue Tradition", this is panoramic poster perfection. Whether you
were at the game that day to witness history, are a long-time Royals fan
who appreciates the greatness of the most underrated ballpark in the nation,
or are simply a fan of America's pastime, this remarkable print is for
you! A must-have collector's item for the wall of any fan, perfect for
a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of home or office. A limited-edition
release, this one won't be available forever...grab yours now while you
can!
